>> greetings and salutations, commissioner morgan, commissioner tracy, maureen, command staff, chief janine, i apologize that i'm remote but as you are now used to, there is a mayor's department head meeting once a month on wednesday at 9:30, so i'm up at the randall museum that's where our meeting is going to be held today. in my vehicle. so and here is my report. i'll be it brief. i was able to recently welcome our 130th academy of 50 recruits out on treasure island of h2 fire fighter recruits out on treasure island and i wish them well as they progress over
9:37 pm
the next 20 weeks. it has gotten through the budget committee that still has to go to the full board of supervisors, i thought that was going to happen yesterday. but it will be happening within the next two weeks instead. the full board of supervisors cannot approve it until after july 15th. so as we're july 13th, but i do i am confident that the full board will pass it and i spent a lot of time with legislative aids during this process as well as just yesterday alone walked the walls and spoke with a lot of people and you know,
9:38 pm
to just make sure that if they had any questions. so i do want to thank my staff for their hard work and advocacy to get this done in communicating the needs for our department. i will give you detailed information once it is passed and signed by the mayor. i don't want to jinx anything. so now we get to covid, unfortunately, it is still around and we currently have about i think about 30 people on quarantine and about half a dozen positive and half a dozen longer than 30 days due to covid illness. so we're remaining vigilant, but, you know, we are seeing this everywhere. the good thing is that the hospitalizations do not seem to be increasing and our members
9:39 pm
hospitalizations, we have not had any member hospitalized since early on in the pandemic. so that's the good news. i attended a fire scope board of directors meeting up in sacramento and for those who don't know what fire scope is, it is a group of members from different fire departments in the state of california that provide recommendations and technical assistance basically to oh yes, the office of emergency services. and that can include incident command system, multi agency coordination, you know, such as wild land stuff but we also have members that are on the high-rise committee for them. so it's really good to it was really helpful for me to talk
9:40 pm
to other chiefs and see how and how things are running for them so far. i attended the installation lunch of the chinese commerce and it was great to see china rebounding after covid. yesterday i did check in with folks at city hall. but, i think, i think it's really good to regularly check in it in that manner. that concludes my report and the meeting is at 9:30 so i
9:41 pm
still have a few minutes. >> all right, do we have any questions for the chief? yes, commissioner fraser. >> i don't have any questions but i do want to take 5 seconds to thank you before the chief goes to the next meeting for beginning me my day on saturday, for driving me and visiting different fire stations. and somebody who i met on the drill, for helping me with that. >> did you have any questions. >> i don't want to hold the chief, hope to great work.
9:42 pm
we had pretty busy and just have a great day. >> thank you very much. i appreciate it. >> i believe vice president. >> thank you very much, madam president. madam secretary is this microphone on? do you know? okay. chief i know you've got to go through a meeting so i'm going to hold back. the budget still has to be approved by the board of supes and the mayor. >> by the full board of supervisors and then it will be signed in early august. >> okay, and did you say the date of july the 15th as the date that it should be finalized? >> no, apparently, the full board cannot act on it or
9:43 pm
approve it until the earliest july 15 the. so i think next tuesday is likely when they will be doing this. >> okay, i'm going to hold back on my questions on information i had some questions in terms of paramedic component of our department of cost and personnel. i was going to ask that this morning chief was here as well as finance director but i will hold back on that in terms of information for myself and the commission. thank you, chief. >> thank you. >> thank you, president. >> all right, anything further for the chief? she's going to be early for her department head meeting. have a good day chief. >> thank you, i'm going to stick around for a few minutes. i'm not bailing just yet.
9:44 pm
>> thank you. >> thank you. >> all right, shall we? >> chief, you're up, and speak into the microphone. >> good morning, president feinstein, vice president nigel. during the month of june, we had two greater alarm fires which i'll get to in a minute. 14 fire rescues, of those working fires a number of these were significant fires. rescues were made.
9:45 pm
the first actually both greater alarms occured on the first day, they were on june first. 7 had is a four-story apartment building. and when they showed up, they had smoke showing from the roof. when you show up to a building like this, early in the morning, you have smoke showing, there are a couple of things that you want to look for. you want to check, very uncommon for fire to be coming through a roof and a building this time of the morning. so engine one, having experience and light well fire was running the entire light well up to the attic space. assistant chief was the ic and
9:46 pm
chief chris spent his entire career in station 3 and 1, fighting fires. and limited the damage in this fire. he quickly recognized the potential and traveled to get into the attic space. had lines in place and lines in the attic and contain this fire and do well in this run. these fires are very labor intensive. so you spent hours and hours peeling the tin back all the hidden fires, if you've been through them, you'll understand it's the hardest fire. again, they did an extraordinary job. unfortunately, around these light wells is where you have the kitchens and bathrooms. so all the common bathrooms
9:47 pm
were attached quite well. we had a number of people displaced but they'll be back in that building sooner rather than later because of the ability of these crews to contain that fire. the second fire that day, that was about 2:00 o'clock in the afternoon, and again, this was another. this is right in the middle of china. there was a lot of hidden voices, the fire started in the restaurant and the basement. the entire smoke was coming off the roof. as it may be, the division had the roof of sales power at the time and they were able to look forward and see the fire and
9:48 pm
see the fire actually coming from the roof the building. they got a good idea what the job is going to be. again this was great coordination, they had to find access and down alleys and around the street from the back, b.c. circles was inside. requested and we were able to surround it and open it up and expose it and minimize the damage to the building to this fire. i think our water rescue program does not get enough recognition. we are saving multiple people out of water every month.
9:49 pm
almost daily, we have people that climb down the cliffs and they get in the water. between our boats and jet skis, doing a great job making the rescues. it's very challenging and they're making it, so my hats off to them. that's it for the operational things. let's move on to ems. during the month of june, we graduated a hybrid class, 11 level 11, and 4 level 2 which were paramedics. that was on i believe june 23th and that was just in time for pride parade, really welcome on the streets. so we're glad to have them. with reference to the pride
9:50 pm
parade and warriors parade, i want to thank, ems, brown, they all work together to put a plan to the to deal with both of these events. we upped staff, we had pumers and gators and ambulances and multi casual bus and our command vehicle down there and doing a great job managing. we had 100 incidents related just. great team work there to take care of our people. community paramedicine, for a dc on vacation so we have section, april sloan in his place. welcome april, in your report, there is a couple of detail case studies as we have every month.
9:51 pm
some of the highlights for june, as of june 27th, all the programs have been implemented. among these include 7 response teams, providing coverage. five street wellness response team with one overnight team with and two street overdose. ems6 which deals with our most 911 users. you can count on reduction. it really makes a big difference. great crisis scene, about half the time they were able to locate a patient. of those contracts of 4 people transport today non emergency resources.
9:52 pm
so, when they have an ambulance transport that's success. they found somebody on the street who needs medical care and they identified that and they got them medical care that succeeded. street overdose response 157 calls, 49 of those were confirmed overdoses. 14 related in or ban, which are the wupz that we're able to get to these people to help with addiction. that's about a quarter of everybody. so they're raking in and deal with it in a and street wellness. street wellness has 235 encounters. and it's important to note that street wellness, these are all either the unit unused to call
9:53 pm
and they see the person that they believe may need their assistance. and one of them substance street program. they had transported by ambulance. again they're recognizing people with most need. total 197 inspections were concluded during the month of june. in this report it shows that
9:54 pm
they have requirement oar annual high-rise school. permit application, approved. turnover our part of the process. pretending to work with some senior atm staff, regarding the impact of the street changes on our response times. we've got some conclusions that have come back but it's not entirely conclusive.
9:55 pm
so we had a meeting the other day and we're planning the final days where we're going to take a look at some specific neighborhoods with similar calming measures and street changes as well as possibly looking into the cumulative effects say a class 4 bike lane. trying to identify what is slowing our responses down. so far we seem to be working together well and i'm optimistic that we'll get good data op this. so more to follow on that. our bureau investigation had 14 fire investigations, 14 other incidents that they investigated. sfo under our new assistant chief pat bar see. the long time add i have
9:56 pm
assistance, assistant deputy chief retired. so he's got a lot of catching up to do. she has been great and coming back and showing him where the important information is and so he's not only does he have to learn new job but he has to deal with the loss of most critical employee uh there. they had 540 calls at the end of june. in the reportcious there is a couple of mows, with united states customers and border patrol officers if you were wondering what the pictures were showing. finally division of training, under deputy chief, successfully graduated the 129 class in june third and now 47
9:57 pm
of the 52 recruits made it through the academy. and we also started the class, the 127th and 128th class completed their one year. so they were very busy with graduates and putting a new class in and wrapping up the two classes that we had in the field. there is some photos of the dot conducting a live instructor training. hayward training department has just completed a training facility fm it a great resource for us for the facility that we're them. i think it's a great partnership, that we have to deal with. there is a lot of similarities
9:58 pm
on how hayward does things and how we do things. they have some more training onsite that we're going to be able to use. so i think it's going to be a great relationship and i look forward to growing that some more. all in support of the community so again thanks to the fire reserve and this concludes my report for june. >> thank you very much, chief. is there any public comment madam secretary. >> there is no public comment. >> all right, public comment will be closed. fellow commissioners, comments or questions?
9:59 pm
>> i have a lot of questions but i'm going to ask one question. thank you, chief for the report, it's amazing to me. i was read the whole report and i was stuck back on street crisis response team call for serves 844 and that's for one month. >> what page. >> i'm sorry, it's not a page number but in the section of ems. >> response time. >> so it's the volume i'm commenting on 844 calls. in the previous page 16 there is a success mentioned of a client an individual who utilized ambulance 40 times in one month. and i know that that happens, i'm very aware of that from
10:00 pm
previous things that i've been involved with. i just want to make a note from that, something i want to revisit. the resources. and i'm not say that fire department is >> so ems which is a specific unit, they focus on these high utilizers of the 9-1-1 system and they identify them and work with them to find them shelters, to find sometimes there is mental health issues. they find family members who can take custodianship of the people and they had success.
10:01 pm
your's of is one piece continuium, not very complete, it's very incomplete. and i know the fire departments responds without a lot of resources without them. and they're not a social worker or hospital and one of those things is your job but you're in the middle of that. my eye blue open when i read it was 40 calls to one person. and the next month, it was 20 calls for the same individual. i can imagine there is economic impacts and impact on the staff who respond to the came individual over and over with not much a sif aps ans. >> they do great work there. >> absolutely. i look forward to hanging out
10:02 pm
with them, if chief sloan wants to say something about it, great. >> good morning, good morning, vice president, commissioner morgan commissioner frazier, command staff, i'm here in the community division operations. the individual that you're speaking of, we continue engaging them and the 9-1-1 volume. other pkz any questions you may have. >> not right now, but i look forward to learning more about it and seeing how it is as a commission. thank you. >> yes, that's all.
10:03 pm
>> i want to say thank you for the report, covered a lot of ground there. i know you had a busy last month. and along with the fires and the rescues, you know, brought over, so great work. i'm in awe of the things that you do. i'm just thankful that the parades went well. made things a little tougher but you pulled through it and it was like a success with not too many tragedies. so i want to say thanks and keep up the good work. >> thank you. >> thank you, commissioner morgan. i know vice president has some
10:04 pm
questions. >> thank you very much. thank you for your comprehensive report. commissioner frazier, i feel all the years that i've been on here, the whole need of more information and more comprehension because that's all i've been doing for the last 25 years. and still yet in some capacity some things may not workout entire' in terms of comprehension in terms of total programming or the wellness program. so i hear you and hear.
10:05 pm
some of my questions to chief tom, i'm glad that she is gone this year because i have some questions about the paramedic division. i had a question about training photos. how i got an explanation in terms of that. what i meant by that, is that i love the pitcher of the recruits.
10:06 pm
were there at the stage those numbers reflect a little bit more clearly when you see on page 40. page 41 the vasing amount of graduates that are on that it's a lot of graduates and i wanted to congratulate yourself. i particular wanted note on page 41, there is a picture at the hop on and i cannot recall of ever seeing the picture with offices. for myself, it's like okay, i see the pictures and i want to social some names with these training officers but it's really gratifying to see that
10:07 pm
and the qualify of our training, officers and what we produce uh of our. and the other question was about the fire marshal and it was to congratulate the fire marshal on how much work the unit has done. commissioner frazier when i read these reports, it takes me a while, i have to read the whole ems, maybe twice or three times and then i checked in terms of all the variables involved with that. as chief of the airport division. congratulations and welcome back.
10:08 pm
welcome to the commoned force. my question to chief tom is very simple in terms of the report, you made reference to it. i'm talking about page 11 and i'm glad that you point this out about the war's defense and then calling o the 100 calls of service. paster cassidy bus and others that responded. we have suffice with those particular events and i'm a
10:09 pm
phased at the number of calls and number of personnel that came out there. did you want to comment on that at all? it looks like we handled it. em19910. who is that? is that ip certains. sth. good morning, assistant city attorney. yes, so the 9910 interns are those that have grad you'ded from the cmt pam and then they do a00 to be able to apply to the department a h level informationer.
10:10 pm
then. some of the interns given that we had significant need for additional staffing to cover and particularly the pride parade, we were able to get some of them volunteer and they helped and they were on foot teams. they responded to calls to service. >> in terms of calls, what is the definition of the bus that we have. >> it's called the mct. we call tt bus, i'm not sure who decided, it was an that's what we utilize. we use them for both wire pride parade.
10:11 pm
during the warriors prior. we didn't expect that we were going to get that many calls. many were from people standing around heat exhaust ition and being excited and having a good time. so we did have a number of calls for service that day. it was moper we had expected. but we were sufficiently staffed if that was your question. we didn't have a lo of notice to get volunteered. we have been preparing for the pride parade for months before that, and we were able to get good response. and then we were going to start the community on pride. we delayed that for a couple of
10:12 pm
days. and gators and things. >> and we we did utilize ma >> i saw that. >> so they helped sa*f with us and we had managing those that came from the bus. >> that pride parade has not occured in three years. >> yes >> and the response was goodbye ther ant. ob, to have any baef with the water yerz, and then be hine faoef and medical incidents.
10:13 pm
there is a fwrait can you remind me again and the title of that is xaoem can you explain i'm just looking at the top column, 20 it 1-yes, 155 percent. total 274, can you explain to me what no means and what the yes means. >> so why. so when it says, will he see are no, they are housed flt that they know they are housed. >> so that means that they are housed. it's not that they refused. >> individuals. we responded to those vinlz. .
10:14 pm
so means that they are experience homesness. >> and no, is they are not. >> correct. >> thank you for that clarification. i'm looking at page 15, paramedic, cp highlights, there is a lot of information in terms of first paragraphs, it talks about 400 b reports. when you talk about 400 just to make sure that i understand what that differentiation is and that is non violent and
10:15 pm
that helps as well. so i can make some clarification in terms of that. there is a number of thatser that they say abouts an which approximatelies 62% of what was already handled by the street crisis response. i know it's written, i just out of 1400 a. is that where they meet? >> correct, commissioner casio. >> can you speak a little bit louder chief. >> 800 b, 800 bpd code. >> police code. >> it's a police code. >> so street crisis response their mission is to handle the calls, 14,000 annual calls.
10:16 pm
in the ever. and we now nl a am those call no longer go to police department, they come to us. >> it shows enormity on what we the department take up. 100% of that responsibility, i mean just sitting here it is like wow, which maebz back to that numbers. then it breaks it down and overdoses that equals the 14 paramedic street teams.
10:17 pm
what does this cost us in terms of overall budget. as the city commissioners, i know we're approved budget but all of this community program gets relatively new to us. i just want to make sure that we got that money that talks to the relationship of these previous and i think that's a
10:18 pm
good example how we worked together with this clarity in terms of what we pickup if there is no police calls anymore and we're picking that up. the questions come up, do we have the personnel? do we have the manpower? women power and what is it going to cost from this point moving forward? so to me that's a big number. i'm going to move on chief because there is another paragraph below that, it says here that it's going to end on june 30th which is other day. to me if that's the end, then what happens and who picks it up. i read a little further and it says that it going to be operational continuing until the end of the calendar year
10:19 pm
which to me is december 2022. so if program eppsed on june po and continues to the the end of my calendar year. do you have any comment on that, chief. >> op the 30 the, the mayor initiative expired. they are continuing with the joint field operations daily and those operation right side now take over by the planning department. as well as we use have one of our team in the morning. is there some plan to continue that to the end of the year. >> i don't know if that's been evaluated. >> it sounds like jointly
10:20 pm
operated by not just the department. >> that is correct. okay, so there is a question of continuity, i'm concerned that after the calendar year that workload is another workload that i have visions and seen that, somebody is going to have to pib it up. so i'm that or mark course o have been very much looking at the budge he what so he may have more for you later in the month. >> okay, and again, my uh others can't. i just want to make sure that we're not the only one carrying the pail of water in terms of resources for us, i hope that
10:21 pm
is a collaborateab and if the city department believes in the work that we're doing, that's where i'm coming from. moving on to page 16 and i know that your error has a lot of success stories. and again i'm just really impressed in terms, on page 18, there is another success story. and i'm glad that commissioners pointed out in terms of walls in the success stories. who does these write-up on page 16 to 45-year-old and on page 18, 7 3-year-old? who does the write-up?
10:22 pm
these are written up very well. like if i'm a no advise and i'm reading this and i have some social background as well this is pretty comprehensive. you have to have some skill level, can you share who write these up. ? >> you must provide for street crieses, it's usually one of our captains. what was that name again? >> brando not. >> i mean these write-ups are extremely descriptive. >> yeah, they're very detailed. >> and again, i'm glad that commissioners called out the 144 and i'm moving on page 18 and circled.
10:23 pm
that account really really clearly, the confirmation i need is confirm od means, each 49 means representative the individuals, is that correct? >> no, they don't necessarily indicate that the person is diseases, they overdose and i don't know what the result of the overdose was. >> that helps me as well, you know, again as a no advise when i hear something like i od, i automatically think that that person overdosed, if there is a differential that the person overdoses and still alive, i know that makes a big difference. >> they do respond to non overdoses.
10:24 pm
appreciate the detailed information, thank you very much chief. madam president, thank you. >> thank you. i have a few questions if i might. and i would like to start with you, i need some assistance in understanding the chart which comes right after the page is not numbered, it comes right after your greater alarm report. and it's ambulance levels by day and i'm trying to figure out what red yellow means and what red means? that's the percentage of the day that our ambulance staffing would be at level 2 or below.
10:25 pm
so if you had, say the 11th, we have we had 2.8 percent of the day. basically it's indicating the number of minutes or percentage of minutes of the day that the ambulance staffing has gone through a critical level of level two level one level 0, level 0 is bad because it means there are not there is not an available. >> no ambulances available. >> i see. what is our goal, i mean, is it
10:26 pm
our goal to or is our goal just. >> it's a very complex. they have historical and staff the ambulance. you would have to have a ph.d in math to understand how they come up with this system. but it's based on historical data they work with jesus to work with this. and the ambulance levels based on historical call involves on certain times. >> when you say, they, what agency? >> cms division and it is specifically neil tangorini. >> so he understand it. >> he understand it very well. and i him explain to me and that's why i joined the fire department and didn't become a math teacher.
10:27 pm
>> you and me both. >> not join the fire department but i would not be a good math teacher. i want today ask a question, the three special events that are mentioned here. the warriors and fourth of july. when you get to a parade, 100 calls for service. that seems to me to be a lot. and i'm just wondering if you have any sense of what the nature of the calls were? >> that was more than we were expecting, where ever we have this large gathering of people. and we all establish a sort of
10:28 pm
an area we call it a box around the incident. and we'll take all the, all the calls for service that occur within that box and we'll dedicate them to whatever to command system we have in place. we had four gators, but as they recognized the call volume and i think it was because of the heat that day and alcohol may have played a factor, they actually were proactive and chief brought more stages down and stage them around parade route to augment the resourced dedicated to these resources.
10:29 pm
we had a pretty good staffing situation there. they were able to scale it up with some inservice unitscious but that's what we do. so we did the same thing at these events. but i think it's, we have a lot of these during the course of the year and we're experienced with them so no matter what it is, whether it's giants, victories, new years pride, blue angels, fourth of july, we're used to doing it, it's a model that we fall into and we're able to work with it, does that make sense. >> yes, that makes sense, thank you. >> my next question and i don't know if you want to differ, i think it's well, i don't know.
10:30 pm
i'm going to ask the question and then you can decide who should answer it. i have two questions about page 15. one is about the chart that says program overview for the street crisis response teams. and then full estimation. nd on june 22, 2022. and end is capitalized which made me go to the blottery that they always have look up the word to mean. and i'm just, i know the street crisis response team didn't end, is it the 7th unit that ended?
10:31 pm
at the chart and i'm willing to hold it until chief ping comes back. i think chief tong might want to comment. >> yeah, i'm not sure what the end is referring to. >> sandy tong, i was just talking to april and realize it's a typo, so it's me to medical, that's where we switched. >> that makes perfect sense then, thank you, well done. well done. >> i can hold my other ems questions.
10:32 pm
city planning, is there a logic there that i'm missing? >> i'm not aware of the logic, maybe chief sloan can. >> we can put it under our fire marshal for plan approval. kind of lacking in areas too, but to city planning. >> i'm not aware. >> now to a three-day week meeting and same information distributed, we now have zones instead of priority areas that are captain and check fund provide the count of, sense and things to be resolved in the morning and then they do a
10:33 pm

>> my name is holly doudiet. h2 firefighter with the san franciscowired. what inspired me to be a firefighter was in 2008 i graduated college . the recession had happened so there weren't any jobs. i was having troublefinding a
10:43 pm
job. and i was kind of looking around . my dad was a firefighter and i thought what a great career he had. so i asked my dad, never thinking about it at first before. i said dad, what you think about me being afirefighter and he goes yeah, thatwould be a good idea . i took some classes, i ended up loving it . i grew up and actually and i think it was a good fit for me because it's a physical job and it's enjoyable. you never know whatyou're going to get and it's a team effort . i first realized i was part of the lgbt+ community in sixth grade. i looked on the other side of the classroom and i sawthis girl i thought was really attractive and i thought i want to be her boyfriend . though my experiences in the city growing up in the city and countyof san francisco were always verypositive . i came out in high school . i actually ended up being prom king my senior year in high school and a lot of peoplewere
10:44 pm
very supportive . myparents were very supportive . they just let me do my thing and my dad knew of a lot of lesbian women in the fire departmentthe time because he was a san francisco firefighter . for me it's very important to be part of a community and organization and an agency that supports my lgbtq status because if you're not yourself, how can you perform to the best of your abilities? you're always holding back in some way whether it's your personality or your abilities or your overall skills and with agency that supports me being a lesbian i can truly be myself. i can be happy. i can be social with other people. it makes me want to work as a team and we all work better together when we are happier and we can be ourselves.
